Dear Parents,

It has already been a school year to remember! We are so thankful for the way our students and families have adjusted to all the new guidelines and procedures in order to keep everyone safe and healthy. And we so appreciate the flexibility and grace you’ve shown over the first few weeks of this school year. Thank you!

For in-person conferences: A check-in table will be set up near the main entrance for a quick health screening, hand sanitation, and information (a map, student schedule, etc.). Each family should limit the number of people attending Parent/Teacher Conferences to two people. All attendees must wear a facial covering.

  • You will be asked to sanitize your hands when entering the classroom
  • Please, no physical contact (no hand shakes).
  • Maintain 6-feet social distancing. 
  • Teachers and parents will wear face coverings at all times in the building.
  • When possible, teachers and parents will be separated by a plexi-glass shield.
  • Conferences will be kept short; 10 minute meetings whenever possible.
  • Teachers have scheduled time to sanitize tables, chairs, pens, etc. between each conference.

Whether you attend in person or meet with your teachers online, Thank You! so much for participating in Parent Teacher Conferences. We look forward to seeing you.
